People do not realize how important this step is inbr confidence building. It does not help that there isbr so much misinformation out there on this subject.br Thus, people really do not know what to think. Inbr order to get our protection dog very tug-driven—br meaning they go crazy when they see the tug andbr then they will do anything for it—the owner needsbr to limit the pet’s exposure to it. In most militarybr branches and law enforcement agencies, our dogsbr were working for a ball. As soon as the handlers pullbr that ball out, the dogs go crazy for it by spinningbr and barking and other actions.br So, many people would ask, “How do I get mybr dog that motivated for a ball?” First, it goes backbr to breeding and genetics. Some dogs, from daybr one, just have no interest in tugging or chasing abr ball. That is why it is important to know what type ofbr puppy you are getting, and who you are getting itbr from, to ensure that the puppy will be able to meetbr the expectations that you have for it.
